  • Publication number: 20210162823
    Abstract: A tow hitch assembly includes a draw bar and a hitch ball mount pivotally supported by the draw bar. A compression spring is disposed longitudinally between the draw bar and the hitch ball mount. The compression spring exerts a force that opposes a downward pivoting motion of the hitch ball mount when weight is placed on the hitch ball mount. The compression spring cooperates with an indicator configured to indicate to a user whether the weight placed on the hitch ball mount is within a predetermined weight range. The compression spring is removable and replaceable with a second compression spring that has a different spring constant. The second compression spring cooperates with the indicator to indicate to a user whether the weight placed on the hitch ball mount is within a second, different predetermined weight range.

  • Patent number: 10328980
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a passive pressure drag reduction apparatus. The apparatus comprises a housing (106) comprising a base face (114), an open top face (110) opposite the base face and at least one side face (108) extending between the base face and the top face, wherein the base face, the top face and the at least one side face define a cavity (102). A panel (112) is aligned with the top face of the housing, and there is provided an aperture (104) extending around the panel, wherein the cavity is in fluid communication with an environment surrounding the apparatus via the aperture. Further, attachment means are provided arranged to secure the panel to the housing.

  • Patent number: 10330950
    Abstract: An improved method for configuring progressive ophthalmic lenses is disclosed. The method includes computing a traditional merit function with two changes. First, the merit function computation is limited by calculating only a preferred distance from the meridian rather than until 0. Second, an additional term is added to the merit function that calculates the mean sphere at a point that is at a reduced range from the maximum unwanted cylinder, rather than the entire range.

  • Patent number: 10144256
    Abstract: A coupler lock device is used with a trailer coupler that has a handwheel mounted on a threaded member for securing a hitch ball in the coupler socket. The coupler lock device has a housing configured for covering the coupler socket and the handwheel. The housing includes an opening to allow the housing to be positioned over the coupler socket and handwheel. A closure panel is movable between an open position and a closed position. The housing includes an aperture configured so that when the housing covers the coupler with the handwheel tightened to properly secure the hitch ball within the coupler socket, the handwheel threaded member protrudes through the top aperture and provides a confirmation that the hitch ball is properly, secured for towing.

  • Patent number: 10046612
    Abstract: A receiver hitch includes a receiver with a rearward opening for receiving a forward end of a mount shank. The receiver has a side hole for receiving a hitch pin and a bottom hole for receiving a clamping bolt. The bottom hole is disposed forward of the side hole. When the mount shank is disposed in the receiver tube with the hitch pin inserted, tightening the clamping bolt urges a portion of the mount shank forward of the hitch pin upward into engagement with an upper interior surface of the receiver tube and also urges a portion of the mount shank rearward of the hitch pin into engagement with a lower interior surface of the receiver tube. in this configuration, movement of the mount shank within the receiver tube is reduced.
